History

Max Genereaux, aka The Reviver, has taken over ownership of the Smoke Shop, which closed this past year. Genereaux is no stranger to revitalizing and maintaining old dive bars; he’s also the owner of Hattie’s Hat, Al’s Tavern, The Sunset Tavern, and The Pine Tavern.

The Ballard Smoke Shop has a rich history in Ballard: Tommy Economou opened the Smoke Shop in 1971 in the building that was once home to The Looking Glass Parlour. The Looking Glass dates all the way back to the 1930s, and as he told the Ballard Alliance, Genereaux is planning on honoring the old name by calling the dining room The Looking Glass Parlour.
